Airtel’s NGT’14: Don’t go emotional, judges warn contestants



Judges at the ongoing 2014 edition of the Airtel sponsored Nigeria’s Got Talent have sounded a note of warning for potential contestants who may wish to go emotional in order to gain marks, DigitalSENSE Art&Fashion reports.

DigitalSENSE Art&Fashion gathered that this warming became necessary at the auditioning in Enugu the coal city capital when one of the contestants, John Bethel, publicly chose to woo one of them and the only lady judge among the three; Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, by unveiling a smiling image of the actress.
Displeased by this attitude, one of the judges, Mr. Yibo Koko chided him for failing to work at meeting expectations and seeking to explore an emotional angle.
“Of all that have performed here, you are the least on this show,” visible angry Yibo told John.
Also, DigitalSENSE Art&Fashion gathered that Ms Henshaw firmly delivered her judgement on the contestant despite taking a like for the portrait, counselling him on how best to improve on his performance.
For Dan Foster, the third judge, the singer deserves correction and admonition, pointed out the misses in the performances.
DigitalSENSE Art&Fashion learnt that other contestants on the queue for a place in the finals include The Elevators, Imeh Peace, Oasis, ESN, John (8 Strings) Azuka, Showboy Efe and Precious Play. From these,the act with the highest number of votes will be joined on the finals train by the act with at least 2/3 majority votes of the judges.

The Season two of the Bharti Airtel- sponsored ‘’Got Talent’’ reality TV show commenced on October 9 with nation-wide auditions in select cities including Abuja, Port- Harcourt, Asaba, Calabar, Enugu, Benin, Ibadan and Lagos .

The semi-finals opened on December 29 with the finals expected to hold on February 8, 2014 in Lagos.
